Purses banned from NFL games

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)– Women who love NFL football aren’t necessarily going to love a new rule for fans wanting to attend their games. A new rule, passed by the NFL’s security committee and being implemented league wide, will ban purses from stadiums.

The league calls it a move to “enhance public safety and improve stadium access for fans,” but many female fans are hopping mad about the idea.

“Are you serious?” St. Louis Rams fan Cherlier McClendon asked incredulously when told about the move. “I think that’s ludicrous. I don’t understand why I wouldn’t be able to bring my purse in.”
